just a mud map, but maybe store the 113 correct responses in an 
array, then collect the string input as a variable and run a loop 
through the array elements checking for a match. If it finds one, 
jump out of the loop (maybe go to a label along the trial procedure), 
if it doesn't, then progress to a text object to tell them incorrect, 
followed by an inline which would start the trial again.
